A page that appears first in a newspaper, or an electronic publication such as a website. The front page often teases other stories that appear later in the edition.
Generally, the main stories of the day will appear on the front page, along with any major breaking news from around the world or in other countries. The front page might also contain a picture or cartoon that is particularly striking.
Front-page news is important because it can have a significant impact on the public, such as an expose of wrongdoing in a government agency or company, or a report on an event that causes a social upheaval. The story can lead to a change in law, policy, or practice.
Three Jane Does alleged that they were sex trafficked as minors and sued Backpage for facilitating their exploitation. The court ruled that Backpage was performing traditional publisher functions with respect to third-party content in the ads connected to the Jane Does and therefore was shielded by CDA Section 230.
New Jersey’s law attempting to legislate Backpage out of existence was found to be preempted by CDA Section 230, unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, and impermissibly chills protected speech.
